As of Sep. 22, approximately 30% of Bitcoin’s LTHs were facing losses due to BTC’s decline from $69,000 in November 2021 to around $19,000 now. That is about 3%-5% below the level that previously coincided with Bitcoin’s market bottoms.
For instance, in March 2020, Bitcoin price declined below $4,000 amid the Covid-19-led market crash, which happened when the amount of BTC supply held by LTH in loss climbed toward 35%, as shown below.

In addition, the number of addresses with a non-zero balance stands around 42.7 million versus 39.6 million at the beginning of this year, showing consistent user growth in a bear market.
